In a series of recent developments, San Francisco has been rocked by allegations of embezzlement and theft involving city employees. Alan Boie, a former electronic technician for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), has been charged with felony theft by false pretenses for allegedly stealing $9K by clocking in and staying home instead of working on-site. In a separate case, Stanley Ellicott, a former high-level manager in the San Francisco Department of Human Resources (DHR), faces 62 felony charges for allegedly embezzling over $627,000 from the Department's Division of Workers’ Compensation. The charges against Ellicott stem from accusations of establishing a bogus company to facilitate the theft. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins has emphasized the city's commitment to uncovering official misconduct, thanking the Department of Human Resources for its cooperation in the investigation. New controls have been announced by the Department of Human Resources, the San Francisco Controller, and the District Attorney's office to prevent future fraud and abuse of city payment systems.
